Abstract: An artificial leather shoe comprising a shoe upper made of
a shoe upper material, which is a laminate composed of a substrate
layer (A) comprising an entangled nonwoven fabric made of ultrafine
fibers having a fineness of not more than 0.01 decitex and containing
an elastomeric polymer, an adhesive layer (B) and a substrate layer
(C) comprising an entangled nonwoven fabric made of fibers having a
fineness of not less than 0.05 decitex and containing an elastomeric
polymer, as layered in that order, with the surface of the layer (A)
serving as the exterior, and a shoe sole material fixedly bonded to
the shoe upper by means of an adhesive, which shoe is characterized
in that the layer (A) and layer (B) of the shoe upper material have
been substantially removed in that portion which bonds the shoe upper
material and sole material together, so that the layer (C) is directly
bonded to the sole material by means of an adhesive has a sufficient
level of peel strength as required of a shoe, without impairing the
softness, fashionability, quality appearance and other features
intrinsic in the material.

Abstract: A high-efficiency electro-optic modulator with an equalized frequency response is
described. The modulator includes an optical waveguide formed in an electro-optic
material that propagates an optical signal along a first direction of propagation. An
electrical waveguide is formed on the electro-optic material and positioned generally
co-linear relative to the optical waveguide and in electromagnetic communication
with the optical waveguide. The geometry of the electrical waveguide is selected to
achieve a modulation efficiency at a frequency in a bandwidth of a digital spectrum.
A compensation network is electrically coupled to the electrical waveguide at a
junction. The compensation network reduces an electro-optic response of the electro-optic
modulator below the mean frequency bandwidth of the digital spectrum, thereby
causing an increase of the electro-optic response above the mean frequency of the
digital spectrum.

Abstract: An improved constrained socket for use with an orthopedic implant for replacing a
ball-and-socket joint. The constrained socket includes cuts extending from the opening of the
socket generally toward the articular region thereof. Petals are formed between adjacent cuts
in the socket. The socket further includes an annular expansion cutout, with the
aforementioned cuts terminating therein. The socket does not include cuts on the primary
articular surface, but nevertheless has a relatively low assembly force to allow assembly of
the ball-and-socket joint during a surgical procedure. The relatively low assembly force of
the constrained socket of the current disclosure is due in part to the annular expansion cutout
which allows sufficient outward flexure of the petals to allow insertion of the ball of the ball-and-socket
joint. The ball-and-socket joint of the current invention further includes a locking
ring with an interior annular beveled surface to facilitate operable positioning of same and
with an exterior visual indicator to facilitate identification of the beveled end of the locking
ring. The exterior visual indicator comprises an exterior annular protrusion against which
axial force may be supplied for positioning the locking ring about the acetabular cup. In one
exemplary embodiment, an acetabular liner incorporates the features of the current invention.

Abstract: A motion decision value provides a dependable estimate whether motion occurs in a
given region of a video image in an interlaced video sequence. The motion
detection is particularly applicable in the conversion from interlaced video to
progressive video. An input first is fed to an absolute value former which computes
a frame difference signal from a difference between the first field and the second
field in one frame. A point-wise motion detection in the frame difference signal is
then followed by a region-wise motion detection that combines the point-wise
motion detection signal with an adjacent point-wise motion detection signal delayed
by one field. The motion decision value is then computed from the region-wise
motion detection signal and output for further processing in the video signal
processing system, such as for choosing whether the spatially interpolated video
signal value or the temporally interpolated video signal value should be used for the
output.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for synchronous control of a leading
element (7) and a follower element (8) in which synchronism is started smoothly and a
mechanical shock at the start of synchronism is reduced. When the follower
element is started to move to be synchronized with the leading element, motion
of the follower element is started before the follower element reaches a start
position of the synchronism, and brought into synchronism with the leading
element at the start position of synchronism. A positional relationship
between the leading element and the follower element in synchronism, and a
start position for starting the synchronism of the follower element and the
leading element is set. An acceleration control of the follower element is
performed between a motion start position preceding the start position of the
synchronism and the start position of the synchronism. A position control of
the follower element is performed based on position data of the leading
element and the set positional relationship after the follower element reaches
the start position of the synchronism.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système vidéo d'endoscopie en fluorescence comportant une source lumineuse multimode produisant de la lumière pour des modes d'imagerie en couleurs et en fluorescence. La lumière à partir de la source lumineuse est transmise à travers un endoscope vers le tissu sous observation. Le système comporte en outre une caméra compacte d'imagerie en couleurs et en fluorescence. Les images obtenues par l'endoscope sont divisées optiquement et projetées sur un ou des capteurs d'images par un séparateur de faisceaux dans la caméra. Le séparateur de faisceaux fixe élimine la nécessité d'introduire un miroir mobile dans la raie spectrale entre l'endoscope et les capteurs d'images. Des signaux d'images à partir de la caméra sont traités dans le système de traitement/contrôle dans lequel on peut appliquer une fonction d'accentuation de contraste. La fonction d'accentuation de contraste accroît le contraste des couleurs entre un tissu normal et un tissu susceptible de cancer prématuré. Enfin, le système comporte également un élément d'étalonnage permettant de maintenir l'efficacité du système lorsqu'il est utilisé avec d'autres endoscopes.
